Cheddar Biscuits

Everyone wants a cheddar biscuit! They’re no different from regular biscuits except that I get to add a ton of cheddar to the dough. I should have added even more.

So far, all of these biscuits have been mixed using the biscuit method. This means mixing all of the dry ingredients, cutting in the shortening, combining the liquid ingredients separately and then mixing it all together. It only gets kneaded lightly. Different people like different variations of their biscuits. If you like a flaky biscuit, use more shortening and don’t mix it in as thoroughly. If you like a tender, crusty biscuit with less volume, don’t knead the dough.
